Notes

Notes are my shorter posts; kinda like my own little microblog. They have their own RSS feed and are automatically syndicated to my social profiles.

Me: Oh, I have a spare half hour, I think I'll put the XBox on and play some COD.

XBox: No, no, no, sunshine. You haven't turned me on for months so you have to do these 3 updates first...

Me: πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ

There’s a lot to be said for a 6am walk in the field with the dogs (the cat came too) and a cup of coffee.

Everything is so quiet at that time; just the sounds of various animals doing their thing. Birds, sheep, cows, chickens.

Bliss.

Ooooooooo new #watch day is always fun. This is my new #Spinnaker Spence that I got for an absolute steal from the Spinnaker site. Can't decide if I prefer the bracelet or the blue leather strap though?

Wife: Your 40th birthday is coming up, what do you want for it?

Me: A watch!

Her: Really?! You have loads of them!

Me: So?

There's one I've been saving for her to get me as a gift. To say that I'm now excited is an understatement. Not gonna say what it is yet, but I cannot wait to get it on my wrist.

Also bought another watch last night. I think this means I need to probably sell a couple again...

My wife and I β€œupgraded” to our fancy-pants new memory foam mattress this weekend, but neither of us are sleeping well. I hope it gets better as we get used to it. 😳

My kids (well, let’s be honest, my wife) know I’m a greedy bastard and got me this for #FathersDay.

I think I win Father’s Day, right?

(and yes, some of the donuts are gone already πŸ˜‚)

Been after a petrol strimmer for a while, but didn’t want to pay a stupid amount for one.

Found a non-running one for free locally. Wasn’t running because of perished fuel lines. Β£6 in parts and the thing is now running great. πŸ˜‚

I just logged into #LinkedIn (something I do very rarely) and this is what I was greeted with. Like, seriously, how the fuck is this even usable? Maybe it's time to delete my account...

Apologies if you subscribe to my Watch Log feed. I just pushed a change to it that fixed a small problem, but that problem was with the guids, so feed readers think everything in it is new.

Sorry again. πŸ™ƒ

Me: This year, I'm gonna get that field looking like a bloody lawn, and I'm gonna cut paths into the other field like a big maze.

Wife: You're a dreamer, Quirk! The grass is far too long for you to cut paths and you're never going to get a FIELD looking like a LAWN.

Me: Hold my beer...

Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Oracle Free Tier…does all this β€œfree” hosting make anyone else uneasy? No? Just me then? 🫣

I'm so ready for the weekend. One more meeting to go...

Oooooo new watch day! I'm not into Manga, like at all, but when I saw this, I knew I had to have it. It's such a cool and interesting watch. It almost looks fake.

That feeling when you visit Robin Rendle's website and you're like "urgh, this is such a cool site. I wish I'd thought of that..." πŸ˜‚

The design of it is just πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

One of our younger chickens has recently started laying. I think she's a Star Wars fan? πŸ”

Why does #Microsoft #Windows STILL not have tabs in the file explorer???

Had a great few days away in mid-Wales with my wife, kids and in-laws. We particularly enjoyed the beach. πŸ–οΈ
